About Ffotogallery
Since its formation in 1978, Ffotogallery has been at the forefront of new developments in photography and lens-based media in Wales and beyond, encouraging public understanding of and deeper engagement with photography and its value to society.
The Result
The integration of the AUDAC Touch control system, ATEO speakers, and Powersoft Mezzo amplifiers clearly reflects a considered approach to meeting the unique operational and experiential needs of Ffotogallery.
This carefully designed system delivers a permanent audio solution that balances ease of use with a high degree of flexibility, allowing staff to manage sound effortlessly while adapting to a wide range of exhibitions and events.
As a result, Ffotogallery is empowered to create rich, immersive audio experiences that enhance visitor engagement and deepen the impact of its visual programming. Beyond functionality, the installation plays a key role in elevating the overall atmosphere of the gallery, contributing to a more cohesive and dynamic environment.
It also highlights how seamlessly advanced audio technology can be integrated into cultural spaces, supporting artistic expression without detracting from it, and demonstrating the value of thoughtful, well-executed technical design in modern exhibition settings.
The Brief for Ffotogallery:
The Ffotogallery was searching for a simple, flexible and permanent audio system that didn't need to be set up before every event and show. We aimed to provide crisp, clear audio dispersion alongside simple, intuitive control that was both simple and flexible, offering permanent audio capabilities without the need for frequent setup before events.
We also integrated an Optoma WZH500UST projector into the setup, pairing it with a large electric Sapphire projection screen mounted neatly on the wall and operated via a convenient radio remote control. This combination provides a clean, modern display solution with smooth, effortless deployment of the screen when needed. To complement the visual experience, we installed Audac Compact 10-inch bass reflex speaker cabinets on either side, carefully positioned to deliver balanced, high-quality audio.
The Solution Delivered
At the heart of the installation lies the AUDAC Touch control system, offering intuitive control and seamless management of the audio environment. Paired with AUDAC ATEO speakers, the system ensures crisp and clear audio dispersion throughout the gallery space. The choice of Powersoft Mezzo amplifiers further enhances the system’s performance, delivering powerful and reliable amplification to complement the speakers’ capabilities.
